Performer: Various Artists
Producer: Errol Wilson; Pam Hall Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: Photographer: Paul Neil. This collection features several Jamaican vocalists taking a shot at redefining American R&B in an island context. Sanchez leads things off with an easy, bubbling version of Luther Vandross' "Superstar" that is easily the most interesting track here, although Glen Washington's take on Luther Ingram's "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" and J.D. Smooth's bright run-through of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" are also both memorable. The rhythms are on the safe side, and nothing here is too jarring, making for a pleasant listen, but one wishes for a little bit of that intangible edginess that characterizes the best Jamaican music. ~ Steve Leggett
